Congrats on the purchase.

The MT on the Z's are pretty finicky. I've been driving nothing but manual since I was 17. This is my 3rd stick car and I completely agree with just about everything you said. The clutches on these cars aren't the easiest to get used to.

The only advice I have is to drive drive drive! The more practice you get with it, the easier it will become. Try going to an empty lot, put the car in 1st, and practice getting it moving without using the gas. This will help with finding the engagement point on the clutch.

It will take some experimenting on how much gas vs. how fast to come off the clutch you have to do to get a jerking free takeoff in 1st.
